ADAM-6000 series Ethernet-based data acquisition and control (DA&C) modules
provide I/O, data acquisition, and networking capabilities in one module, allowing you
to build a cost-effective distributed monitoring and control solution for a wide variety
of applications. Through a standard Ethernet network, ADAM-6000 modules can
retrieve I/O values from sensors and can publish them as real-time I/O values to networking nodes via LAN, intranet, or the Internet. With Ethernet-enabled technology,
ADAM-6000 modules allow you to build up a cost-effective DA&C system for building
automation, environmental monitoring, facility management, and e-manufacturing
applications. Figure 1-1 gives a brief overview of a system architecture that can be
adopted for ADAM-6000 modules.
Figure 1.1 ADAM-6000 Module System Architecture
1.2Major Features
Ethernet-Enabled DA&C I/O Modules
ADAM-6000 modules are based on the widely utilized Ethernet networking standard,
which is employed in most business environments. You can easily add ADAM-6000
series I/O modules to existing Ethernet networks or use them in new Ethernetenabled e-manufacturing networks. This series of modules supports 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet and Modbus/TCP over TCP/IP for data connectivity, and UDP over Ethernet. With UDP/IP, ADAM-6000 series I/O modules can actively transmit data streams
to up to eight Ethernet nodes. Through Ethernet networking, HMI/SCADA systems,
and controllers, you can access and acquire real-time data from ADAM-6000 Ethernet-enabled DA&C modules. The data can then be integrated with business systems
to derive valuable business information.
Note!Some intelligent functions are only provided with the ADAM-6000-CE
version. See Appendix F for further details.
ADAM-6000 User Manual2
Intelligent I/O Modules
Upgraded from traditional I/O modules, all ADAM-6000 series modules have pre-built
intelligent functions that can enhance system capabilities. For example, the digital
input modules provide counter and totalizer functions; the digital output modules provide pulse output and delay output functions; the analog input modules provide
descriptive statistical data calculations (e.g., min., max., and mean); and the analog
output modules provide a PID loop control function.
Mixed I/O for All Applications
The ADAM-6000 series' mixed I/O design provides a cost-effective I/O option for
application systems. The most commonly used I/O types for single-function units are
available in a single module. This design concept not only saves I/O usage as well as
costs, but it also speeds up I/O operations. For small DA&C system or standalone
control units in medium-large systems, the ADAM-6000 series' mixed I/O design can
easily fit your application needs with only one or two modules. With additional
embedded control modules, these modules can be used to easily create a localized,
less complex, and more distributed I/O architecture.
Remote Monitoring and Diagnosis
Previous differences in communication modes and data formats made it difficult to
implement automation control and monitoring in IT-based infrastructure. In particular,
users had to convert data to transform I/O datastreams from SCADA systems before
transfer to a database or IT management system.
ADAM-6000 modules integrate the latest web language (HTML 5) and web-based
architectural style (REST) with basic authentication for users to remotely acquire I/O
data in any smart device web service without routing from the SCADA system. As an
example, a smartphone web browser can now be used to remotely access an I/O
module via HTTP.
Each ADAM-6000 module features a pre-built I/O module web page for displaying
real-time I/O data, alarms, and module status via LAN or the Internet. Using any popular Internet browser, you can perform monitoring from both local and remote sites.
Furthermore, web-enabled monitoring can be completed immediately without requiring any programming.
Chapter 1Understanding Your System
Modbus/TCP Protocol
ADAM-6000 modules support the widely used industry standard Modbus/TCP protocol, enabling you to connect with any Ethernet controllers or HMI/SCADA software
that supports Modbus/TCP. Advantech also provides an OPC server for Modbus/TCP
so that ADAM-6000 I/O module datastreams can be integrated with OPC clientenabled software, thus freeing you from having to develop new drivers.
Customized Web Page
Since ADAM-6000 modules have a default built-in web page, you can monitor and
control the I/O status from any location by using Internet Explorer. Moreover, customized web pages can be uploaded to ADAM-6000 modules for individual applications.
Advantech provides sample code in JavaScript* as a reference for you to design your
own operator interface and then upload it to the specific ADAM-6000 modules via
Adam/Apax .NET Utility.
Modbus/TCP Software Support
The firmware for ADAM-6000 modules has a built-in Modbus/TCP server. Advantech
provides the ADAM .NET Class Library and Adam/Apax .NET Utility for module con-

Guidelines
2.1Selecting an I/O Module
To organize an ADAM-6000 remote DA&C system, you will need to select I/O modules to act as an interface between the host PC and field devices or sensors. The following should be considered when deciding which I/O modules to select.
What types of I/O signals does your system use?
How many inputs and outputs does your system require?
How many modules are required for distributed I/O point arrangement?
How will you arrange the modules to handle I/O points in individual areas of the
installation site?
How many hubs will you require to connect all of the modules?
What is the required voltage range for each I/O module?
What isolation environment is required for each I/O module?
What are the noise and distance limitations for each I/O module?
Examples of I/O module selection considerations are detailed in Table 2.1.

ADAM-6000 I/O
Modules
4.1Analog Input Modules
Analog input modules use an A/D converter to convert sensor voltage, current, thermocouple, and RTD signals into data, which are then translated into engineering
units. When prompted by the host computer, the data are sent via standard 10/
100BASE-T Ethernet or IEEE 802.11b WLAN. The current status can then be read
using a pre-built webpage or any HMI software that supports Modbus/TCP. Analog
input modules protect your equipment from ground loops and power surges by providing opto-isolation of the A/D input as well as transformer-based isolation.
4.2ADAM-6015 7-ch Isolated RTD Input Module
The ADAM-6015 is a 16-bit, 7-ch RTD input module with programmable input ranges
on all channels. It accepts various RTD inputs (PT100, PT1000, Balco 500, and Ni),
and data are transmitted to the host computer in engineering units (°C). Each analog
channel can be configured to an independent range, thus allowing individual channels to be used simultaneously in different applications.
4.2.1Specifications
Communication: 10/100BASE-T Ethernet
Supported protocols: Modbus/TCP,TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP, ICMP, DHCP, and ARP
Supports P2P and GCL (see Section 6.7 and Chapter 8)
High-Speed Mode (DE Version Only)
In high-speed mode, the maximum total sample rate is 1 kHz (i.e., if 7 channels are
used, then the sampling rate will be 1000/7, which is approximately 142 Hz per channel). This will be influenced by the number of connected Modbus clients and the
Ethernet quality. To maximize performance in high-speed mode, any channels that
are not in use should be disabled; otherwise, the accuracy may be affected.
Note!When using a calibrator to simulate resistors in high-speed mode, no
more than one channel should be enabled.

5.1Digital I/O and Relay Modules
Digital I/O modules can be connected to digital sensors and actuators. These modules support both dry and wet contact for different applications. Relays, on the other
hand, are electrically operated switches. Relay modules are typically employed to
control a circuit by using a low-power signal. When prompted by the host computer,

Module
The ADAM-6066 is a high-density I/O module with a 10/100BASE-T interface for
seamless Ethernet connectivity. It has 6 digital inputs and 6 high-voltage relay outputs (Form A). The module has a contact rating of 250 V
All inputs have a latch function for important signal handling and can be used as 3kHz counter and frequency input channels. The outputs support pulse output.
When a digital output is active, a circuit wire break or short to ground will cause the
output to fail. To help clarify such a situation quickly, ADAM-6000 modules (all D versions) have a digital output diagnostic function that can detect abnormalities in the
digital output and issue a notification. The diagnostic status is given according to the
following groups:
ModuleDiagnostic GroupOutput Channel

Note that for the ADAM-6050 and ADAM-6051, each group corresponds to a pair of
digital outputs, whereas for the ADAM-6052, each group corresponds to an individual
channel. When an error occurs with one or both channels in a group, the diagnostic
status for that group will change. Possible reasons for an abnormality are given as
follows.
For the ADAM-6017, ADAM-6050, and ADAM-6051
When the digital output is not active:
The digital output circuit wire break has occurred (open load)
The digital output connection is short to ground
When the digital output is active:
The output has been exposed to an overcurrent (>1 A)
Note: To ensure that the digital outputs and diagnostic function operate normally,
each digital output should be configured within the specification for individual channels: 30 V, 100 mA (max.).

5.7.1How to Obtain the Digital Output Diagnostic Status
The digital output diagnostic status can be obtained using Adam/Apax .Net Utility, the
Modbus address, or an ASCII command.
Obtaining the Digital Output Diagnostic Status With Adam/Apax .NET Utility
Since Version 2.05.10B08, Adam/Apax .NET Utility has had a digital output diagnostic function. In the example shown in Figure 5.13, the digital output diagnostic status
is abnormal for Group 1 (DO2~DO3) and Group2 (DO4~DO5) (note that individual
groups will appear in this field only if their status is abnormal; thus, Group 0 does not
appear in this example). This indicates that a problem has occurred with one of these
output channels.

The Modbus Address Tab
To provide greater flexibility and scalability in deploying ADAM modules, the limitations of Modbus address settings have been removed to make the modules as configurable as possible. Basically, there are two types of Modbus address section (0X
and 4X) for configuring each function. For example, the above image shows the Modbus address settings for the ADAM-6017.
6.3.6Group Configuration
In certain applications, it is necessary to apply the same settings to multiple modules
because they are performing the same tasks at different sites. Previously, users
would have to configure each module individually prior to on-site deployment. After
the modules are installed and the system is running, it will still require repetitive effort
to carry out firmware updates.
To overcome this, ADAM-6000 modules are equipped with a group configuration
function to reduce repetition and accelerate the configuration of multiple modules;
this includes firmware upgrades, configuration files, and HTML 5 files, all of which
can be updated in a single process. Follow these instructions to open the Group Configuration window:
1.Click on Ethernet on the Module Tree Display Area.
2.Click the Group Configuration icon on the toolbar or select Group Con-
figuration under the Too ls menu. This will open the following window:

Figure 6.8 Analog Input Alarm Mode Configuration
ADAM-6000 User Manual70
For the ADAM-6015, ADAM-6017, and ADAM-6018, this screen allows you to configure the built-in alarm function. Two tabs for configuring the high and low alarms for
the selected channel are at the lower part of the Status Display Area.
For both the high and low alarms, you can select one of three alarm modes from the
Alarm mode box:
Disable: The alarm is disabled, meaning that when the alarm condition occurs,
nothing will happen.
Latch: Once the alarm condition occurs, the alarm status will be set to logic high
and the Alarm status LED will continuously be lit; these will remain until the
alarm is cleared manually. For the ADAM-6017 and ADAM-6018, the output
channel specified in the DO mapping panel will continuously generate logic
high value. Click Clear latch to clear the alarm.
Momentary: The alarm status will change dynamically depending on whether
the alarm condition occurs. If the alarm condition occurs, the alarm status will be
logic high; when the alarm condition disappears, the alarm status will change to
logic low. Under this option, the Alarm status LED and the digital output chan-
nel will change according to the alarm condition.
After you choose the alarm mode, click Apply mode to apply the changes.
You can then define the high or low alarm value by entering the value in the Alarm
limit box and then clicking Apply limit. When the analog input value is more than the
high alarm value or less than the low alarm value, the alarm condition will be met and
the alarm status will then be set to logic high. For the ADAM-6015, ADAM-6017, and
ADAM-6018, the alarm status will be shown by the Alarm status LED. Finally, to
map the alarm to a specific a digital output channel, select the channel of interest
from the Channel box and then click Apply.

Fail-Safe Value Configuration
When communication between the host PC and an ADAM-6000 digital module is broken, the digital output channels can generate a predefined value, which is referred to
as a fail-safe value (FSV).
If the FSV box beside a channel is checked, it means that the module will set that
output channel to logic high when a WDT timeout occurs. There are two applications
for this. After all changes have been made, click Apply FSV for the changes to take
effect.
Communication WDT
When the module has not received any TCP network packet from the client in some
time, the module will automatically set the FSV to output if the waiting time is greater
than the host idle time.
73ADAM-6000 User Manual
P2P/GCL WDT
When the module has not received P2P/GCL network packets in some time, this
means that the waiting time is greater than the idle time you have entered; the module will automatically send the FSV to the host PC if you have enabled this function.

You can choose different input modes for the selected digital input channel from the
DI mode box (the option you select will depend on the hardware specification). After
you have selected the mode, click Apply mode to save the changes. The five modes
you can choose from are detailed in the following text.
DI Mode: DI
In this mode, you can see the digital input value by clicking the DI status LED.
Some digital modules support an invert digital input status function. When you enable
this function, the module will automatically inverse the digital input value. For example, if the actual external signal value is logic low, then the DI status LED will be lit
75ADAM-6000 User Manual
(normally, it is lit only when the signal is logic high). If your module supports this function, an Invert signal box will be visible in the Setting panel. Simply select/clear this
box to enable/disable this function and then click Apply to all (for all channels) or
Apply (for the selected channel) to complete the configuration.
All ADAM-6000 digital modules support a digital filter for removing high- and low-frequency noise. You can enable/disable the filter by selecting/clearing the Enable digi-tal filter box. When the filter is enabled, you can define the minimum and maximum
acceptable signal width from the Minimum low signal width and Minimum high
signal width boxes (unit: ms). Remember to click Apply to all (for all channels) or
Apply (for the selected channel) to complete the configuration.
DI Mode: Counter
A counter counts the number of pulse numbers of a digital signal from the selected
channel and then records that in a register. When Counter is selected from the DImode box, the Status Display Area will appear similar to when DI is selected. Under
this mode, the current count value of the selected channel will be displayed in the
Counter value box. You can start or stop the counter by clicking Start/Stop next to
the Counter value box, and you can also reset the counter (the value in the register
will also be initialized to zero) by clicking Clear.
Similar to when DI is selected from the DI mode box, you can enable/disable the
invert digital input status function and digital filter in the Setting panel. One additional
setting, however, is that you can define whether the counter should keep the last
value when the module is powered off; when the module is powered on again, the
counter will continue counting from that stored value. Otherwise, the counter will be
reset to zero when the module is powered on. You can enable/disable this function by
selecting/clearing the Keep last value when power off box and then clicking Applyto all (for all channels) or Apply this (for the selected channel) to complete the configuration.
ADAM-6000 User Manual76
DI Mode: Low-to-High Latch
Low-to-high latch mode means that once the digital input channel detects a logic
level change from low to high, the logic status will remain logic high until you clear
latch manually, which will return the logic status to logic low. The logic status can be
seen by the Latch status LED. The latch can be cleared by clicking Clear latch. This
mode also supports the invert digital input status function, which can be enabled/disabled by checking/clearing the Invert signal box and then clicking Apply to all (for
all channels) or Apply this (for the selected channel) to complete the configuration.
Chapter 6System Configuration Guide
DI Mode: High-to-Low Latch
High-to-low latch mode means that once the digital input channel detects a logic level
change from high to low, the logic status will remain as logic high until you clear latch
manually, which will return the logic status to logic low. The logic status can be seen
by the Latch status LED. The latch can be cleared by clicking Clear latch. This
mode also supports the invert digital input status function, which can be enabled/dis-

You can choose different output modes for the selected digital output channel from
the DO mode box (the option you select will depend on the hardware specifications).
After you have selected the mode, click Apply mode to save the changes. There four
modes you can choose from, as detailed in the following text.
DO Mode: DO
Chapter 6System Configuration Guide
This mode allows you to control the digital output value of the selected channel,
which can be adjusted by clicking DO. The current digital output value will be shown
by the DO status LED.
DO Mode: Pulse Output
When Pulse output is selected from the DI mode box, the selected digital output
channel will generate a continuous pulse train or a finite number of pulses. You can
define the pulse width in the Low signal width and High signal width boxes in the
79ADAM-6000 User Manual
Setting panel (unit: 0.1 ms). The frequency and duty cycle of the pulse output signal
will be calculated automatically and displayed in the Output frequency and Dutycycle boxes. After you have completed the settings, click Apply mode (for individual
channels) or Apply to all (for all channels). You can then choose to generate a continuous pulse train or finite number of pulses by selecting Continue (for a pulse train)
or Fixed total (for a finite number of pulses). When you selected Fixed total, you will
need to enter how many pulses you want to generate. After the pulse output mode
has been selected, click Start/Stop to generate/stop the pulse output.
DO Mode: Low-to-High Delay
When you choose Low to high delay from the DI mode box, it is the same as selecting DO except that there will be a delay before the output value changes from logic
low to logic high, as depicted in Figure 6.13.

6.7Introduction to P2P Functions
When you want to send a signal from one module to another module, P2P is the ideal
solution. With the P2P function enabled, ADAM-6000 modules can actively update
their input values to other devices such as PCs or other ADAM-6000 modules. A typical application is using a pair of ADAM-6000 modules, in which the value of an input
channel on one module will be automatically updated to output channel on another
module. The data will be transferred automatically as long as the connection between
the two ADAM-6000 modules is already established, and no controller is needed to
81ADAM-6000 User Manual
handle the communication.
Note!1. Please use an Ethernet switch between a pair of P2P modules (do not
use an Ethernet hub) in order to prevent data packet collisions.
2. ADAM-6000 modules support two functions: P2P (Event) and GCL
(see Chapter 8). You cannot enable both of these two features at the
same time. Thus, if GCL is enabled and want to use P2P, you will need
to disable GCL first (see Section 8.2 for instructions on how to disable
GCL).
3. To utilize the P2P function, you will need to upgrade the firmware version of your ADAM-6000 module to 3.x or later.
6.7.1P2P Communication Modes
All ADAM-6000 modules feature two types of P2P function: 1) basic mode and 2)
advanced mode.
Basic Mode
For basic mode, there will be only one target device (Module B) receiving data from
the source module (Module A). Usually, Module B is another ADAM-6000 module.
The input channels of Module A will be mapped to the output channels of Module B,
so that the values of all Module A inputs channels are automatically updated to the
Module B outputs. You can also define a mask to disconnect a relationship between
some inputs and outputs.
Figure 6.15 Basic Mode for P2P
Advanced Mode
For advanced mode, there will be multiple target devices (Module B, Module C, etc.)
receiving data from the source module (Module A). You can define different target
devices by assigning different IP address to each channel of Module A. For example,
you can map Input Channel 1 of Module A to Output Channel 3 of Module B, while
Input Channel 2 of Module A is mapped to Output Channel 4 of Module C. Refer to
Figure 6.16.
ADAM-6000 User Manual82
Chapter 6System Configuration Guide
Figure 6.16 Advanced mode for P2P
6.7.2P2P Communication Methods
As for when the data will be updated from a source module to the target devices,
there are two options to choose from: 1) period time and 2) period time + change-ofstatus (COS).
Period Time
With this function, the value of the input channel will be updated to the target devices
at the defined period.
Period Time + COS
This option still causes the value of the input channel to be updated to the target
devices at the defined period, but when a COS occurs (i.e., a change in the analog
input value greater than a specified deviation or a digital input status change), the
value of the input channel will immediately update to the target devices.
6.7.3P2P Event Triggers
In many applications, data will only be sent to a host computer when a specific event
occurs, such as when a digital or analog signal changes. In this type of application,
the P2P function is ideal. The target P2P device can be a computer, for which you
would simply need to enter its IP address and select basic mode as the communication mode and period time + COS as the communication method.
There should be one program running on the host computer to receive the data, and
we provide an example C program (VC++ 6.0) on the companion CD. Although
ADAM-6000 modules will send data to the host computer periodically (for the sake of
communication security), you can still distinguish whether messages have been sent
via the period time or COS function. The message contains information on which
channels have changed. Thus, if the message indicates no change in all channels,
then no event has occurred.
83ADAM-6000 User Manual
Note!There is invariably some level of uncertainty in network communication.
Sometimes, there may be packet loss when an event occurs. This is
why we provide the period time + COS function (no COS function
alone). When an event occurs, even if a packet is lost, the data will be
sent again at the next period. This improves system reliability.
6.8How to Configure P2P Functions
Select the IP address of an ADAM-6000 module from the Module Tree Display Area
and click the Peer to Peer/Event tab. The screen will appear as shown in Figure
6.17.
Figure 6.17 Peer to Peer/Event Tab
By default, the P2P function is disabled. You can enable it by selecting Basic or
Advanced in the Mode panel and then clicking Apply. ADAM-6000 modules support
both P2P and GCL functionality (see Chapter 8 for information on GCL); however,
only one of them can be enabled at one time. If GCL is already enabled and you
choose to enable P2P, an alert will appear asking you to first disable GCL (see Section 8.2 for how to disable GCL). After GCL has been disabled, you can then select
Basic or Advanced to enable P2P.
ADAM-6000 User Manual84
6.8.1Basic Mode Configuration
In basic mode, the Status Display Area will appear as shown in Figure 6.18. You can
define the target device by entering its IP address in the Destination box in the
Basic (One to One) panel.
Chapter 6System Configuration Guide
Figure 6.18 P2P Basic Mode Configuration
Note that when you select basic mode, the default communication method is period
time; to select period time + COS, you will need to select the Deviation Enable
(C.O.S) box (for analog modules; not shown in this example) or the Enable Change
of State box (for digital modules). If you do not select this box, the communication
method will be period time.
The period to transfer data from the source module to the destination module can be
set in the Period time box in the Basic (One to One) panel. You can define the deviation for analog input by the Deviation Rate numeric control (the value is a percentage and represents the change value divided by the total range).
By default, all input channels of the source module will all be mapped to all output
channels of the destination module. However, you can manually define which channels are mapped by clicking the Modify channel enable box. This will allow you to
choose which input channels to map to the corresponding output channels by selecting the channel in the Enable column and then clicking Apply list. In Figure 6.18, the
values of Input Channels 0~3 of the source module will update to Output Channels
0~3 of the destination module. You can save the current mapping relation into a configuration file by clicking Save. You can also load a mapping configuration file by
clicking Load. Click Refresh will show the current mapping configuration on the
source module in the table.
85ADAM-6000 User Manual
6.8.2Advanced Mode Configuration
In advanced mode, the Status Display Area will appear as shown in Figure 6.19. The
mapping relationship is configured using controls in the Source and Destination
panels.
Figure 6.19 P2P Advanced Mode Configuration
Follow these steps to define the mapping relationship:
1.Select the input channel from the Channel box in the Source panel
2.Use Period time, the Deviation enable (C.O.S) box (for analog modules) or
Change of State (C.O.S) box (for digital modules), and Deviation Rate in the
Source panel to define when to transfer the data for that channel
3.Enter the IP address of the target module in the IP box in the Destination panel
4.Select the name of the target module from the Name box
5.From the Channel box, select the output channel on the target module that will
receive the data
6.Click Config to list
Once you have completed these steps, the configuration for that channel will be displayed in the mapping table at the bottom of the Advanced (One to Multi) panel.
You will need to repeat Steps 1~4 for each input channel you wish to map. Once you
have configured all the input channels, click Apply list to download the mapping configuration to the target module. You can save all configurations in the mapping table
to a file by clicking Save. You can also load a previous configuration file by clicking
Load. Clicking Refresh will show the current configuration of the source module in
the mapping table.
Note!It is suggested that you to download all channels mapping configuration
together at one time instead of downloading one-channel setting many
times. The reason is that this can reduce the number of times the flash
memory on target module is used, thus helping to extend the flash memory life.

ADAM-6000 modules all feature a built-in web server that can be accessed using a
standard web browser. The web service allows programmers to create powerful customized web pages by using web programming languages. Remote computers or
devices can thus be used to monitor and control the I/O status of ADAM-6000 modules remotely via a web browser. ADAM-6000 modules come with a default built-in
web page that you can modify using HTML5 or a Java Applet.
87ADAM-6000 User Manual
The default HTML settings on ADAM-6000 modules do not support HTML5; for
HTML5 support, you will need to download a new file from the Advantech website. If
you use a Java Applet to modify your module, you will need to install Java Virtual
Machine to browse the web page. Additional instructions for Java Applet implementation can be found in Section 6.9.2.
To access the web server, simply type the IP address into your browser to connect to
your ADAM-6000 module. You will be prompted to enter a user name (default: root)
and password (default: 00000000). After you have entered the correct password, you
can start monitoring/controlling the I/O channels on your ADAM-6000 module.
